Okay so I have this single, blond chest hair (in addition to other shorter dark ones) which is growing seemingly without bound. I have looked on Guinness World Records website ([http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/](http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/)), but I can’t find any information. This hair is probably only a little more than 2 inches now, but it doesn’t seem to show any sign of slowing down. I used to cut it, but for the past several weeks I have been letting it grown. I need to know if I have a shot at the record holder or if I should just cut it off.

As ridiculous as this sounds, I am 100% serious.
